About
Colorwheel is a mod that makes Flywheel and Iris compatible. This means that you can play with Create 6 while using shaders and still have good performance! This mod is similar to Iris Flywheel Compat.
Flywheel has changed a lot since Create 5 and is now much more complex. This means that shaderpacks need to be patched manually to be compatible. Since the 1.0 version, shaderpack developers can adapt their shaderpack using this documentation.
Shaderpacks
As of today, shaderpacks officially compatible are:
- Euphoria Patches, since 1.7.0
- Eclipse (edit of Bliss, available on GitHub)
- Glimmer, since v1.5
- I Like Vanilla, since v1.0.3
- Shrimple (WIP, available on GitHub)
- Spooklementary, since v2.0.3
- Solas Shader (available on GitHub)
These shaderpacks above work straight out of the box, and require no intervention.
Some shaderpacks are compatible with some custom made patches. Those patches are available with the Colorwheel-Patcher mod. Such shaderpacks are:
- Euphoria Patches, since 1.7.0
- Eclipse (edit of Bliss, available on GitHub)
- Glimmer, since v1.5
- I Like Vanilla, since v1.0.3
- Shrimple (WIP, available on GitHub)
- Spooklementary, since v2.0.3
- Solas Shader, since v3.2
For non compatible shaderpacks, a fallback mode is available. This mode will use existing shaders as a best effort attempt, like Iris Flywheel Compat does. This doesn't replace true compatible packs as there WILL BE rendering issues, but that's better than nothing.
Those shaderpacks have been tested with Create without major issues:
- Kappa
- MakeUp Ultra Fast
- Noble
- Nostalgia
- Pastel Shaders
- Sildur's Vibrant
- Solas Shader
- Super Duper Vanilla
Tip: it's common for shaderpacks to disable Entity Shadows or Block Entity Shadows by default. Make sure that those options are toggled if you want Create contraptions to cast lights and shadows.
Compatibility
As of version 1.0, Iris Flywheel Compat is incompatible with Colorwheel due to conflicting mixins. This won't be fixed.
Create Better FPS is compatible, and may improve performance in some situations. This may happen either because the flywheel:off backend is used or because some blocks, like the factory gauges, are not rendered using Flywheel.
Performances comparison
Steam Deck, BSL Low:
1089 waterwheels:
- Flywheel OFF: 2 fps
- Create Better FPS: 5 fps
- Colorwheel: 50 fps
Modpacks
Colorwheel doesn't requires a Flywheel mod. In this case, the mod will disable itself.
Iris/Oculus is the only hard dependency.
